Product details

Siemens 5SY6403-8 SENTRON MCB — 4-pole D-curve, 3 A, 30 kA

The Siemens 5SY6403-8 is a SENTRON 5SY6 series miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with a D tripping characteristic, 4 poles (4P), rated at 3 A at 400 V AC, 50/60 Hz. It carries a 30 kA breaking capacity per IEC 60947-2 and 6 kA per EN 60898, with a UL 1077 rating of 5 kA.

That's a full industrial-grade rating, not the residential 6 kA from EN 60898. The D-curve trips magnetically between 10× and 20× In (30–60 A for this 3 A unit), so it's sized for motor feeders or transformers where the start-up surge would otherwise pop a B or C curve. That covers most 48 V and 60 V DC control circuits found in industrial automation, but not 110 V DC battery banks. The multi-phase AC rating goes to 440 V, so it's fine on 400 V three-phase systems with a slight headroom. Temperature range is -40 to 75 °C, with derating on humidity above 55 °C. That's wide enough for unheated enclosures in northern climates or near process heat.

Mounts via the quick-assembly system — snap-on to DIN rail, any position. Width is 72 mm (4 width units at 18 mm each), depth 76 mm, installation depth 70 mm.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 5SY6403-8?

It carries 30 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 400 V AC, 6 kA per EN 60898, and 5 kA per UL 1077. On DC it's 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at 72 V.

What does the D-curve mean on this MCB?

The D tripping characteristic trips magnetically between 10× and 20× the rated current (30–60 A for this 3 A unit). It's designed for loads with high inrush, like motors, transformers, or welding equipment, where a B or C curve would nuisance-trip on startup.

How do I get current pricing and availability for the 5SY6403-8?

The part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 5SY6403-8?

The MCB carries ratings per IEC 60947-2, EN 60898, and UL 1077/CSA C22.2 No. 235. It is halogen-free and silicon-free. Standard Siemens declarations (RoHS, REACH) are available through the product documentation portal.
